The single-digit damage numbers dealt to Zhao Jun's heart felt like tons of damage. If he weren't a soldier, the sheer frustration from this single blow would have made him drop his weapon on the spot.
This is ridiculous!!! He's a dual-wielding warrior who sacrificed defense for two-handed weapons! Even though they're the same level, both his defense and attack are far inferior to Boss Li.
This! Sigh...
"Brother, get out of the way!"
After chanting for two seconds, a giant fireball flew out from the Meteor Staff, heading towards the Kobold captain protected by layers of heavy armor.
[-350!]
The charged fireball spell dealt a terrifying amount of damage. Even with the heavily armored Kobold's high defense, it couldn't withstand this high magical damage!
"Roar!!!"
The giant fireball scorched the pure metal heavy armor, dealing damage and inflicting a burning status effect on the Kobold captain.
The pained captain's fierce gaze suddenly turned towards the red-haired girl behind the team. Despite its questionable intelligence, it instantly judged that this hateful woman was the most dangerous presence in the team!
With determined will, enduring the intense pain, the Kobold took a step and charged straight at the unprotected girl!
"Damn it, I didn't tell you to move!"
Releasing the bothersome dagger, a strange technique flashed through his mind. Xuan Sheng grabbed the elite monster's shoulder and lifted with all his might!
Omnipotence!
[Martial Skill 'Overhead Throw' activated]
[Strength check! Passed! Agility check! Passed!]
[Will deal (Strength + Target Constitution) x 2 damage! 'Omnipotence' takes effect!]
The prompts exploded in his mind. By the time Xuan Sheng snapped back to reality, the Kobold was already flying through the air, crashing hard onto the ground.
[-160!]
Was it... because of [Omnipotence]?
This combat skill instantly appeared in his mind, and Li Xunsheng used it subconsciously...
In a daze, Xuan Sheng's mind stirred.
Just like picking locks before, these techniques always popped into his head... Could it be that the essence of the branch abilities [Omniscience] and [Omnipotence] is actually mastery of all skills??
"Ignite! Fireball!"
Startled by the elite Kobold, the secretly enraged girl waved her staff, and two balls of scorching flame flew towards the downed Kobold.
[-170! -300!]
The continuous burning from Ignite and the recently cast fireball continued to deal damage, causing the Kobold captain's health bar to steadily deplete.
After the elite Kobold's sudden attack, Zhao Jun, filled with fear, no longer cared about dealing his own single-digit damage. Instead, he stood in front of his sister, afraid the monster would charge at her again.
"Gah!"
A strange hiss of pain escaped the Kobold's mouth, but it had no effect on the situation.
The enraged Kobold raised its hammer high, just about to unleash a skill, when it was met with a straight punch from Xuan Sheng, who was up close!
[Gut Punch: Strikes the opponent's side, dealing Strength x 3 damage, and interrupting their preparing skill!]
These skills, which should only appear after transferring to a martial class, always appeared at the most opportune moment, allowing Xuan Sheng to use them very naturally...
[-142!]
"Ugh..."
His weak spot struck, the Kobold's body went limp, and it was hit by Li Xunsheng's knee strike directly to the head!
[-165!]
These martial skills completely ignored the opponent's armor, dealing true damage directly related to his own strength!
'This martial class is too strong, do they all ignore defense?'
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Xuan Sheng received a prompt from [Omniscience]:
[The skill currently being used comes from the hidden profession: 'Eight Arms', not an ordinary profession skill]
If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
Hiss... No wonder.
The Kobold, entangled in combat, seemed to have foreseen its own future. It abandoned its charge towards Zhao Min and instead shrieked as it lunged directly at Xuan Sheng, intending to fight to the death!
Unfortunately, the quick-handed youth immediately picked up his round shield, completely abandoning any thought of attacking...
The man who had been playing it safe to the extreme was now being held tightly against his chest by the Kobold, making him feel suffocated!
Finally, with a roar of unwillingness, the elite Kobold collapsed powerlessly to the ground, turning into experience and merit...
"Phew... it's finally over..."
Zhao Min, covered in cold sweat, collapsed onto the ground, lacking the strength to even hold her staff.
On the surface, she only consumed a little mana, but facing the charge of an elite monster left her with a considerable negative impression. Thinking about it now still made her a little scared.
"Brother Zhao, clean up the battlefield. See if there's any relevant information here."
"Okay!"
Zhao Jun, who hadn't played any part, was worried about where to fit in. Hearing Xuan Sheng's suggestion, he quickly began searching all around.
"Something dropped, how do we split it?"
Calling back Yi Qing, who had been keeping watch, and looking at the steel hand hammers on the Kobold that hadn't dissipated, Li Xunsheng spread his hands.
He wasn't interested in such clunky dual-wielding items, but if it was free, he'd rather take it himself and put it on the auction house.
"My brother is a two-handed warrior, and I also contributed a lot just now, so..."
Her voice grew softer and softer. Under Li Xunsheng's strange gaze, Zhao Min's face turned red, and she became fidgety.
Having been saved by the man in front of her once, she, who had always been strong-willed, found it hard to speak up now... Besides, her brother was the biggest beneficiary of this operation, and he was even a drag...
"It's fine to give it up, but you'll need to write an IOU."
"Mm-hmm!"
Yi Qing, who had been hesitant before, nodded repeatedly upon hearing Xuan Sheng's proposal, agreeing to it.
"Alright, then this hammer..."
[Kobold Battle Hammer: Lv.8 Two-handed Warhammer Blue Attack Power +120 Strength +6]
"How much is this hammer worth?"
Unable to figure out a price, Zhao Min awkwardly ran a hand through her hair.
In the early stages of the game, who would sell rare blue equipment? The auction house only had some scammers listing white equipment; no one was willing to sell blue gear.
However, if they were to price it according to the NPC shops in town, it wouldn't be a small sum...
"Let's just note it down for now. When there's a general price later, you can pay it back with interest."
Anyway, after Zhao Jun recalled all his comrades, with so many people, Xuan Sheng wasn't afraid they would run away. Besides, he wasn't short of money for the time being.
"Then, Sister Qingyi..."
"Okay."
She hadn't contributed much during the fight against the elite monster, but she could still get gold coins and experience. Yi Qing was naturally willing to accept such an outcome.
"Good news! Everyone, I found the quest objective! Hey, what were you guys talking about?"
Zhao Jun ran back, holding a piece of paper, his face excited.
"Nothing much... Brother, you'll be saddled with a huge debt from now on."
Pushing the blue two-handed warhammer into Zhao Jun's dumbfounded arms, Zhao Min pouted irritably.
If this brother were more capable, she wouldn't have felt so lacking in confidence when discussing the spoils of war.
"What's the quest information? Hurry up and tell us."
"Ah! Okay! It's just that they came here to dig out a certain ancient ruin."
Glancing at the chat panel, Zhao Jun, who understood what had happened, gave Yi Qing and Xuan Sheng a grateful smile before continuing to discuss the quest.
"The ancient artifact they're excavating must be extremely important to them!"
